This is just Hollywood in a nutshell. Hollywood execs are all business majors now and none of them have actually ever worked in film directly, so they think you just stick actors on a screen and get them to say words, and somehow money comes out. They truly think consumers like you and me are dumb as rocks, and will happily watch literally any slop they plate up.
Makes me think of the show The Studio. Seth Rogan’s character thinks of himself as better than just an executive, but he’s always fucking up and disconnected from those around him.
I find it funny that Seth had to pitch them, “You still want money?” Because the current executives don’t have any idea how to make money.

Not completely unfounded tbh
If love action superhero movies have taught me anything, yeah, you’re right that it’s not unfounded at all.
I mean… yeah.

It’s a fun show.
